Boyd Anderson Loses Kreul Classic Final

December 29, 1991|By DAVE HEEREN, Staff Writer

Boyd Anderson used a full-court press to overcome a 15-point deficit in the second quarter, but All Hallows (Bronx, N.Y.) broke it for 10 straight points in the fourth en route to an 82-72 victory and the championship of the Kreul Classic.

The fourth period opened with Boyd Anderson leading 51-50, but the 10 straight points gave All Hallows (8-2) a comfortable lead that it maintained. The Gaels outscored Boyd Anderson 32-21 in the final quarter.

David Charles led the Gaels with 12 points in the final period, most of them on layups after breaking the press. Charles led all scorers with 26.

All Hallows broke on top 7-0, led 19-8 after one period and extended the lead to 23-8 early in the second quarter before Boyd Anderson went into the press.

The Cobras pulled within 29-25 with a series of steals and layups and took the lead 30-29 on a five-point play that was aided by a technical foul against All Hallows coach John Carey. Admore White sank two free throws, then Dwight Williams made one of two fouls on the technical. Possessing the ball after the technical, the Cobras took the lead on a basket by Terrance Tisdale.

Boyd Anderson (12-2) held a 38-35 halftime lead and was ahead 51-50 after three quarters, but the second time Boyd Anderson coach Mike Benanti ordered his team to press it didn`t work so well. All Hallows it with crisp passes and beat the Cobras downcourt for easy baskets.
